I Need Healthcare
Most Michigan adults with lower income qualify for free health insurance — and free clinics can see you now.
Call the Washtenaw Health Project — free help getting covered.
A real person fills out the Medicaid application with you, step by step.
Start here
Apply for FREE health insurance at MI Bridges — a free account. Most Michigan adults with lower income qualify; it is called Medicaid, or the Healthy Michigan Plan. Have what you can: photo ID, Social Security number, proof of income. Don't have everything? Start anyway. You can also apply by phone: 1-855-789-5610.
Want a real person to help you apply, for free? Call the Washtenaw Health Project and make an appointment. They fill out the forms with you, step by step.
Income too high for Medicaid? Go to healthcare.gov — many people qualify for big discounts on insurance.
Need care now, without insurance? Call Hope Clinic — it is free. Or call Packard Health (you pay based on what you earn) or Corner Health (ages 12–25). Their numbers are below.
